Strains of coxsackievirus group A type 9 were isolated in Boston from 1959 through 1961 from patients with rash, aseptic meningitis, or pneumonia (Table 1). One of these strains (no. 13) multiplied in the myocardium of 7to 12-monthold mice, producing focal myocarditis (Lerner et al., New Engl. J. Med. 269:678, 736, 1963; Lerner, Levin, and Finland, J. Exptl. Med. 115: 745, 1962; Lerner, Progr. ...

We sequenced the complete genome of the widely used C57L/J mouse inbred strain. With 40× average coverage, we compared the C57L/J sequence with that of the C57BL/6J and identified many known as well as novel private variants. This genome sequence adds another strain to the growing number of mouse inbred strains with complete genome sequences and is a valuable resource to the scientific community.

The guidance of axons to their correct targets is a critical step in development. The C. elegans pharynx presents an attractive system to study neuronal pathfinding in the context of a developing organ. The worm pharynx contains relatively few cells and cell types, but each cell has a known lineage and stereotyped developmental patterns. We found that extension of the M1 pharyngeal axon, which ...

Neurofilaments (NF), the major cytoskeletal component in neuronal cells, are one of the most highly phosphorylated proteins expressed in brain. Apart from the structural role NFs play in maintaining neuronal architecture, little else is known of their function. We describe here evidence suggesting that NF may support many other proteins in the neuronal axoplasm including protein kinases. In ord...

The effect of bacterial strains on certain genera, both independently and in combination with biochar various options, petroleum hydrocarbon decomposition chernozem the restoration ecological state soil were studied. To simulate contamination, hydrocarbons introduced into amount 5% weight. Strains Bacillus Paenibacillus bacteria (in recommended increased doses × 100) (1% weight) contaminated se...

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the causing agent of many hospital infections and metallo-beta-lactamases (MBL) are being reported with increasing frequency. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of metallo-&beta-lactamases (MBL) and VIM-1 gene in multidrug-resistant strains of P. aeruginosa isolates and to compare the methods of phenotypic and molecular detection. Materia...

Multi-SLD resolution is a variant of SLD resolution based on a simple idea: Let the allowed constraints be closed under disjunction, and provide a mechanism for collecting solutions to a goal and turning the solutions into a disjunctive constraint. This idea leads to an operational model of logic programming, called data or-parallelism, in which multiple constraint environments partially replac...

Background: Escherichia coli is a commensal-pathogenic organism, which includes a wide range of strains. Despite several advanced molecular-genomic technologies for detecting and identifying different strains of E. coli, Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus Polymerase Chain Reaction (ERIC-PCR) technique is ...

In vitro tests of 132 strains of Staphylococcus aureus, among which were 38 (28.7%) heteroresistant strains, were performed with 14 commonly used antibiotics, including gentamicin and vancomycin. Heteroresistant strains were found predominantly, but not only, with group 3 phage-typable strains; no heteroresistant strain was found in out-patients. Gentamicin appeared as a uniformly effective age...
